The Lewis Capaldi doc is great & quite an eye opener re his struggles. LOVED Raindogs, Fleishman & the Brooke Shields doc. Really a miracle how she seems to have turned out. X

Jury Duty (on amazon prime in the US) is low stakes, goofy fun. Spinal Tap meets the Truman Show in the courtroom, except one juror thinks everything is completely real

I really enjoyed bad sisters, although I'm sure you've watched. I also really loved a show called doll and em. It aired ages ago but its still on sky. I think you'd really like it actually. Just discovered your substack and I'm so happy I have x

Surely you’ve inhaled ‘White Lotus’ already? (I did.) There was a fab episode on the ‘sentimental garbage’ pod exploring why we enjoy watching - quite simply - repugnant, rich characters on TV.
